The Future of Batteries: Multi-functional Polymers

Freddie teases his talk: "In 1991 the commercialisation of the lithium-ion battery sparked a revolution in rechargeable technology, ushering in the age of portable electronics. Today, batteries are everywhere, from bike lights to busses, and modern technology requires ever-improving performance. The key polymeric components in commercial batteries are not sufficient to meet current demand for energy density, long-term performance, and safety. Introducing multifunctional polymers that combat these issues is a key target when designing batteries for the future."

The talk is part of a pre-dinner series in the SCR, originally organised by Wadham's Research Associates, and now organised by the MCR. The series brings the SCR and MCR together and allows Wadham academics to share their research across disciplines.
